Ms Buhle Phiri:

I found the programme to be very good because it opened opportunities up to me that I never had beforehand. I got to go to different places. I do geography, so I learned about Northern Ireland but I had not really been there before. With the residential that I did as part of the bronze level, we got to go to Northern Ireland, to actually be there and to see the peace walls. It was really nice and cool to learn about different cultures and people with different backgrounds. It was very good and very insightful. You learn about different things. I did not know the statuses of deaf and blind people. In my area, there are not really many blind or deaf people, so I would not have been very educated on that. It helped me and equipped me with the knowledge I needed to present today.
